Tijuana Minaret

edit

In this article, they discuss how neo Mudejar architecture affected Aguas Calientes work. There's also a picture of a minaret that might be worth adding.

Irresistable! --Wetman 04:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC) There's a Moorish garden kiosk also at Villa Torlonia, Rome. --Wetman 05:38, 8 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Synagogues

edit

the article has an extensive list of Moorish revival theatres, so I assume that it is appropriate to put us a list of Moorish revival synagogues, some of which are tuly over-the-top confections of arches, gilding and architectural imagination. Is this the right way to approach this? Or should there be a page on Moorish revival synagogues and a link to this page?Elan26 (talk) 02:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)Elan26Reply

"Revival"?

edit

There's no question of Moorish details being "revived" any more than Chinoiserie is a "Chinese Revival". A title that hasn't been thought through. --Wetman (talk) 21:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

CFD prod

edit

The CFD was decided 3 November 2010 and the category was renamed. Why hasn't the prod been deleted? clariosophic (talk) 00:01, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

That was a notice regarding Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 October 26#Moorish Revival architecture, which concluded. i just removed the link from top of this article. thanks. --doncram (talk) 03:20, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposals

edit

Considering there’s only one entry under §India (the Hyderabad location), perhaps it should be transferred to larger §Around the world section? I’m on mobile, so it’s a tad difficult for me. Also, has anybody considered creating a separate article for houses of worship in the Moorish Revival style (Shriner temples, churches, and synagogues alike)?

Can anyone identify this example, which sounds like it could be worth citation here, mentioned by Warren Hunting Smith in his Architecture in English Fiction, p 189: "An American lady modelled [sic] her house upon descriptions of the Alhambra in Bulwer-Lytton's Leila, so that this florid architectural setting has not been without effect"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.176.73 (talk) 10:57, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
